Your Time Travels isn’t just an ordinary travel company. It’s a travel company founded by a woman with a great love and concern for animals! If you stop to think, most travel destinations advertise and exploit animals for the sake of tourism. Know anyone who has swam with dolphins, or taken an elephant ride? I was particularly moved on two separate trips I took, one to India and Russia, where I saw bears chained up on the side of the road being made to stand so people could photograph with them. I can honestly say those experiences didn’t contribute to my having a good time, on the contrary.
Enter Liz Longacre the founder of YTT and our featured Indie Woman Model, a gal who describes herself as timid but adventurous. She was inspired to start her company after a visit to an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, where the animals are considered sacred. Whether you are interested in volunteering to care for animals while abroad, go on a safari to observe wildlife, or want to take your Fluffy along on your dream vacation, this company does it all. Everything is customized to the last details in the spirit of adventure with a clear mission.
As Liz states, “We’ll never promote any activity or hotel that exploits animals, cages them for display purposes, or forces them to provide entertainment…Our trips are for travelers who want to have exciting adventures without them being at the expense of other living creatures.” Liz’s blog is also a great read and resource, so get busy and plan your next vacation with Noah’s Arc in mind. Go Liz!
